Samsung’s Galaxy Core Prime at Verizon

Verizon announced that it intends to start selling Samsung’s Galaxy Core Prime device, just as we have all heard before that this model would be available in the near future in the US. Verizon will launch it online on February 26 and we are talking about a modest price of no more than $29.99 on contract for it.

If the online option is not what you are looking for, then wait a few more days as long as starting with March 5, the handset will be available in stores as well. And before taking any action, be sure that this is what you are looking for.

Samsung’s Galaxy Core Prime is compatible with Verizon’s HD Voice Calling, which is indeed a major advantage. So, the handset comes with Advanced Calling 1.0 capabilities, letting you enjoy HD Voice Calling to other compatible Verizon smartphones. And if you choose to activate this feature, keep in mind that it also enables simultaneous voice and data use, so you can talk and surf the web at the same time.

Anyway, its specs are nothing more than decent. To be more precise, the device comes with a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of no more than 480 x 800 pixels, while the power is offered by a quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor. Here we also have 1 GB of RAM, as well as 8 GB of expandable storage space and don’t forget that Galaxy Core Prime has a 5-megapixel rear camera with various modes such as Best Photo that takes a series of pictures, letting you choose the best one to save and share, the camera also being accompanied by a secondary 2-megapixel front-facing camera which is ideal if you love to video chat with family and friends.

The Core Prime will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch, but Verizon is clear about the fact that it will update it to Android 5.0 Lollipop at some point in the future. And the 2000 mAh battery is large enough for a decent usage, not to mention the Ultra Power Saving Mode which will maximize battery life. For the end, don’t forget that Boost Mobile might also release the Galaxy Core Prime in the US, but we have no official details at the moment.
